Rohit Sharma discusses complacency: after the ODI series loss to Sri Lanka

The Indian cricket team, captained by Rohit Sharma, faced a significant loss in the third ODI match at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with Charith Asalanka's Sri Lankan team emerging victorious by a substantial 110 runs on 7th August.

This win marked a historic moment for Sri Lanka, as they secured a bilateral ODI series victory over India after 27 years, since 1997. During the post-presentation ceremony, Rohit Sharma addressed the issue of complacency within the Indian team and emphasized the need to assess individual and collective game plans. He praised Sri Lanka's performance and acknowledged the areas that the Indian team needs to focus on for improvement.

Sharma reflected on the series, stating that while it is disappointing to lose, it is not the end of the world, and the team will bounce back from this setback. In the previous matches of the series, India managed to tie the first ODI and lost the second match by 32 runs.
